Southwestern Wrap

http://www.epicureanmom.com/2012/01/southwestern-quinoa-wrap-vegetarian.html

I made this with some tweaks - mayo instead of yogurt, more spices instead of adobo and chipotle, rice instead of quinoa. Also just sauteed the peppers and corn. It was delicious though.

For Chipotle Dressing:

Ingredients
6 oz Fage 0% yogurt (greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 chipotle chili, seeded and chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 Mexican lime, (key lime) juiced, although lime would do just fine.
pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients together.  Mix until well incorporated, set aside.

For Quinoa Wraps:

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
2- 2 1/2 cup veggie broth
pinch of salt
1 can organic black beans, warmed or cold
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
2 ears of corn, shucked
2 bell peppers, grilled and sliced into strips (Any color pepper works. I used all the colors)
4 whole wheat tortillas
hot sauce, garnish

Heat veggie broth and quinoa in a small saucepan until just boiling.  Turn to low-medium and simmer for 25 minutes, or until just tender.  Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add the onion.  Cook until browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.  Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place shucked corn on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.  Bake until just browning, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

To Assemble:
Slather chipotle sauce over the middle of tortilla.  Scoop a heaping spoonful of black beans, quinoa, caramelized onions and corn.  Place bell pepper strips over the top and finish with avocado slices.  Roll, serve with hot sauce and Enjoy!
